Pros
- Totally remote - Good health benefits, though for women have to opt into short term disability during annual enrollment at cost to them (company does not cover) if they wish to take a “paid (60%)” maternity leave - Some seriously amazing and helpful colleagues
Kontras
- No work life balance. I was told by my manager on day 1 "We don't take lunches here." I was also "praised" for "stepping up" which basically meant working serious overtime...sometimes 12-14 days (you are salaried). I, and my colleagues, felt afraid to leave our computers to make dinner or go to the grocery store for fear of missing something and being reprimanded - Provided a laptop, work phone, and printer but if you want anything else (i.e. second monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc.) for your office you are responsible. Also, If you have a work phone you are REQUIRED to have a case, but you have to buy it at your own expense. -So much redundancy in the work being done. Use multiple different programs when one could be used for all the functions. You have to update or save things in multiple arbitrary place. -No opportunity for creativity or advancing communication/marketing skills. A robot could do this job.
